Pro XML Development with Java Technology has been written to help you, the professional Java developer who needs a practical hands-on guide to marrying these technologies together effectively. There are a lot of books out there, but none really explore the combination deeply, and they are largely theoretical. The main objective here was to consolidate the theory and practice of XML and Java technologies in a single, up-to-date source, that is firmly grounded in underlying XML concepts, and can be consulted time and again to rapidly speed up enterprise application development!

This book covers the full development life cycle
for professional GUI design in Java, from cost
estimation and design to coding and testing.

Introduction to Java and Software Design breaks the current paradigms for teaching Java and object-oriented programming in a first year programming course. The Dale author team has developed a unique way of teaching object-oriented programming. They foster sound object-oriented design by teaching students how to brainstorm, use filtering scenarios, CRC cards, and responsibility algorithms. The authors also present functional design as a way of writing algorithms for the class responsibilities that are assigned in the object-oriented design.

Java Peformance Tuning, 2nd edition provides a comprehensive and indispensable guide to eliminating all types of performance problems. Using many real-life examples to work through the tuning process in detail, JPT shows how tricks such as minimizing object creation and replacing strings with arrays can really pay off in improving your code’s performance. Tuning J2EE application bears many similarities to tuning J2SE apps, but important and specific considerations apply. For this reason, Java Performance Tuning, Second Edition includes four new chapters: a new chapter on J2EE application tuning in general followed by chapters on tuning JDBC, servlets and JSPs, and EJBs.
Performance has been an important issue for Java developers ever since the first version hit the streets. Over the years, Java performance has improved dramatically, but tuning is essential to get the best results, especially for J2EE applications. You can never have code that runs too fast. Java Peformance Tuning, 2nd edition provides a comprehensive and indispensable guide to eliminating all types of performance problems. Using many real-life examples to work through the tuning process in detail, JPT shows how tricks such as minimizing object creation and replacing strings with arrays can really pay off in improving your code’s performance. Tuning J2EE applications bears many similarities to tuning J2SE apps, but important and specific considerations apply. For this reason, Java Performance Tuning, Second Edition includes four new chapters: a new chapter on J2EE application tuning in general followed by chapters on tuning JDBC, servlets and JSPs, and EJBs. Java Performance Tuning offers common-sense advice about what to tune and what to leave alone, emphasizing techniques that provide big performance gains with minimal code restructuring. It gives you crucial guidance that helps you tune without destroying your program’s architecture. Blindly changing things in an effort to make a program run faster is a great way to create buggy, unmaintainable code.

Java is being used everywhere from mobile phones to the Mars rover. It's become one of the top application development platforms for enterprise use, and is relied on in the aerospace, transportation, telecommunication, healthcare and banking industries, plus many more. Java is a valuable platform for programmers to know.
There are many common functionalities that businesses expect their application developers to be able to implement. The On The Job Training Series: Java videos give you the advanced Java knowledge needed to implement these functionalities and to create other Java applications common in enterprise use. This includes training on archiving, using timers, creating servlets, using the StringTokenizer class, serializing objects, the collection framework, handling cookies, implementing hierarchical data and more.
The real-world training content of these videos was selected based on instructor Robert Barr's years of experience as a Java programmer, plus input we gathered from other professional programmers about what they'd like to see in an on-the-job Java training series.
Instructor Robert Barr explains, "This course focuses on real-world programming tasks that are common in the work place. You'll learn the intricacies of Swing programming, interacting with the file system, creating applets, and practical uses of collections. You'll be able to apply what you learn in this course directly into projects you're currently working on."
The On The Job Training Series: Java videos focus entirely on real-world application and do not map specifically to an exam. A solid foundation in Java programming, such as a working knowledge of the material covered in the Java SCJP Certification Package, is recommended before viewing this training.
